Two Paths, Already Walked With Jesus and Mary

Long before they ever met, Michael and Christina were each growing up in different places, living different lives — yet Jesus and Mary were already walking with both of them. Michael frequently visited the Benedictine monks of St. Leo Abbey in Tampa, Florida. Christina, half a world away, visited Waegwan Benedictine Abbey in Korea, where her own uncle served as abbot, and where her aunt is a Catholic religious sister. Neither could have known that the quiet Benedictine thread running through both of their childhoods would one day lead them back to that very abbey to be married. It was only years later, in Manhattan, at St. Francis Korean Catholic Church, that their two paths finally became one.

How it began

[ Michael & Christina — write this part yourselves: where you met, when, and what you both remember most. It’s at its best in your own words. ]
